INVASION Of NAPLES.
It will he seen, hv an artirlc in our pre
ceding columns, that the passage ol the
Vo hv the Ausli ian*. is confirmed. t he
troops of despotism have renewed their
crusade against Liberty, preceded by
the manifesto of a hoary dotard, who has
ndd,'U a fresh instance of apostacy to In
former sms against bn country. We do
not expect the resistance of the Nea
poht ms to he in the first in-tance suc-
ce-d'ul ; but we think that the friends of
Freedom may indulge confident expec-
taiions of a pr.--ever,nice which tmy u-
. m shake lhc« despnticsovoreigtis from

of no I’rin o oegent of Naples are
,-la elv Connect' '• vvsth the freedom and

remarks, tbai " the Crown Prince—the

C’.!-,'), of being liun«elf one of the Cnr-
l»on iri nnd that on account of the
known enmity of the Austrian govern
ment, and its acknovfl • lgpd parti ditv to
his brother, Leopold. Frioce eif Salerno
the husband of the Archduchess, Maria
Clcmentioa, of Austria, the exclusion r
the Regent from the eventual succession,
is an oiiject meditated by the Austrian
£mperor.

jnenced, i* not likely to terminate in Na

be tt.e prompt submission of the Neapo-
Ip an Revolutionists, or the commotion

That the first is not very probable, we
ore tempted to believe ; and if'.lie sug
gestions we have proceeded upon are in
Xiiiv degree accurate, n contrary result i-
almost inevitable; for the Frinre Re
gent of Naples lights not alone for the

cession to the throne. The interests of
the Prince & the people are one. Ilap-

VI FAV
Of Ihc first results if the Conferences at
2'roppau.
The events of tile Km of March in Spain,
those of the Jd of.Inly, in Portugal, the rn-
tiftrophe.it Naples, necessarily produced,
amongst all those who had no eye to the
tranquility of nations, a deep sentiment "t in
quietude and pain, ami a desire to unite and
co-operate to at ort fi" in Europe ill! the e-
vils ready tu hurst upon her.
It was natural that this delire and this sen
timent should In- more lively in tile govein-
inents which not lung ago had conquered the
revolutionary spirit, «od who saw it nt this
day re-appearing triumphant.
(t was still more natural that, to repulse it
a third time, these governments should have
recourse to the menus which tla-v bad so
hannilv employed in the memorable ‘■-trur-
gle, io which Europe had seen them break
the yoke under which it had groaned for
twenty years.
Everything authorized the hope, that tins
union of the principal powers, formed in the
midst of circumstances the most critical,
crowned with the most brilliant successes,
perpetuated finally hv the acts of 1C 14, llllb,
and 1CI8—that Ibis union, which has j>i• -
pared, founded, and completed the pacifua-
tion of (he world, having delivered the con
tinent from the military despotism exercis
ed by lli*- maiiofthe Revolution, would, in
like ni inner, deliver it from a new power,
ijot less tyrannical nnd not less disastrous—
from the power of crime and of revolt.
HjcIi have been the motives and th»oh-
jerl of the Congress of Troppau. The first
ought to be so generally felt as not to re-
qvire a longer explanation : the latter is so
honorable and so useful that the wishes of
all must, without doubt, accompany tlie Al
lied Courts in tiu ir noble enterprize.
Tile (ask, which duties and engagements
the most sacred impose upon them, is vast
and difficult; but favorable presages permit
them to believe, that they will b<- able to
accomplish it, by acting in the spirit oftbe
Treaties, by which they had restored peace
to Europe, and established a general alliance
among all the European governments.
The Allied Powers have availed them
selves of an incontestable right, in deckling
to take common measures of precaution and
restraint (repression j towards states, the
confusion or which, wrought by revolt, re
g irding it only in the light of an example,
would lie an net hostile to all legitimate in
stitutions and governments; lo. ards State
which.above all, not content with llietr own
calamities, seek by their agents to cnmmui.i
cate them to other countries, and endeavor
ilii-re to iutioduce disorders and insurrec
tion.
The position and the conduct of these
states constitute a manifest infraction of tli
covenant, which guarantees to the European
governments, with the integrity ufllierter-
ritories, the maintenance of those pacific re
latio I-, tlie fr-.l i fleet of which is toexrluil
,-ven the idea of tin ir doing each other an
injury.
‘This irrefragable fact ought to he the pom!
of departure of the Allied ( a hi nets, ill eon
sequence, the Plenipotentiaries, who eoulil
receive at Troppau the orders of llicir So
vereigns, have determined between them
and submitted to the deliberations of the
courts'll F iris and London, till- principle-to
he followed towards states who -iilunit to a
violent alteration in the form of Itu-ir interior
regime, as well as the means, w lo-tlier of con
ciliation or of force, proper t" restore to the
t»o-oin of the alliance sm-h of these states as
they can exercise a salutary nod ellicacio;
agency upon.
Ar the Revolution at Naples strikes deep
er root every day ; as mi otln-r menace* more
sensibly and immediately the tranquility of
the neighboring states o’r ran In- rearhi d by
ways more direct or prompt, the conven
ience and necessity are admitted of making
to the Kingdom of tin- Two Sicilies the im
mediate application of the principles which
have been indicated.
lb-fore dijiiii-sing. wilh regard to iiiin.
measures efa conciliatory nature, the Sove
reign- present at Troppau have addressed to
his Sicilian Majesty au invitation to join
them at Lavbarn ; a step the only object of
which lias been to set free the will of lii«
Majesty, and to engage him to interpose
hi- mediation between iiis delud* d |ie»iple
and the countries whoso repose they com-
p| pmmit.
Derided not to recognize governments in
fatuated hv sedition, the Sovereigns could not
voter into an intercourse, hut vv ith the Ivitig
in person. Tiieir mim-ters at Naples have
received.correspondent orders.
France and England have been invitefl to
lorn in this proceeding. They will without
doubt live less refuse to du so, itissmtirlf ns
that tbe principle, in virtue of which it ha-
been reported to, is strietly conformable to

Extract of ■ letter from a gentleman in
Rio de Janeiro to lus friend in Wash
ington City, d itrd,
“ Rio to \J '.rtriRn, Feb. 19.
“ H. M. F. Majesty bus at l.-t deri
de 1 to send his eldest -nn tu Portugal
u itli the title of Constable, and f ill pow
ers to grant an amnesty and re-citahlwli
(lie royal authority. Thi* determination
was undo known on the tltli inst. to the
Ministers of England, Austria, I’ru — u
and Russia, a* representing, here with
the exception of France, the high Allied
Powers, and having Imen uiore or les-
engaged in producing it. I wa- soon af-
terwards informed that the Prim e would
leave this as -con a- po--ihle after tin
confinement of the Princess, vvhirli wa-
expected to take pl.u-e on the ICtli, ami
mav now he look'-1 fur every day. On
a-kmg whether -he would accompany
her liushand, I was answered, that, it
-lie insisted upon it, the King would not
oppose her wishes, hut that lie would
retain her children, as pledges to tin-
country for the permanency of the throne
among them. H'li it eli'ei t however, the
Kt.vuLt riov vr Raiiia, ofwhich we have
just heard, may have upon these deter
minations, i« not known, \* tho Kin
has adopted tlie measure reluctantly, lie
may seize the lir-t pretext lor delaying |
execution and tiius thwart ail the ad
vantages which Count Palmella expected
from it. Such, my friend, is the lainco-
t.alile stale of things here. As early a-
the beginning of Dec. it was known here
that Bahia hung upon a thread anJ no
thing lias been done since that to strength
en the bonds which unite the different
parts oft hi- country*. The consequence
is, that Halim shook off these faeble
bonds on flic Cth inst. and i« now under
a provisional government, which propo
ses to recognize no othrr power hut
that of the constitution which is to he
framed for Portugal.
The Revolution wits brought about by
the Portuguese regiments, and onlv cost
the lives of a few madmen, who endea
vored to check it. The King's Govern
or, count Palmas, was called to preside
over the newly formed government, but
declined on the grouud ofthe oath which
lie hail taken to Iiis Majesty. The o-
llier members of the government were,
itissaid.ehicfly lawyers, and men known
for then* talents.
Since hearing of this Revolution, a
considerable anxiety begins to manifest
it-elf here, hut apathy has become so
habitual n slate, that the King will, it i-
•nppnsod, sutFer him-elf to lie surprized
here, a- he lus been elsewhere.
We have three regiments of Portu
guese troops j., garrison at this port, who
are know n to eiilprt.ini sentiments similar
to ihove of their brethren at Il-ahin.—
The government is justly afraid of them,
and has either not the means or courage
to send them away . A middle course
was taken, which was to a-k of them
whetln-r they wanted to return to Por
tugal ; ami as they almost unanimously
expre—ed that wish,nnd no preparati me
are making Iw sati fy it, tbev are in ire
uneasy and riper fur revolt than they
were before. The native troops which
are inferior to them in n lmher and dis
cipline, would not alone restrain tln-in ;
a.id they do not look for opposition from
the Militia, vvlnrh, like tlu m-eki *, are
interested in a ■ hinge. To render tin
King's situation still more alarming, he
has a ministry composed of three peisoRs
who cm agree upon nothing ; is »ur
•minded by sycophant-, who are not e
wi-e enough to he afraid, nnd shew
it ; and, what is worst of all. has loin-ell
in unconquerable repugnance for tfie in
stitutions which In- people ask of him.—
I fear that troubles await him.

FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
The following is no rxtrac* of a letter received
in New York
•* fiiu.Nos avrcs, Jan. 27.
“ The latest news from San. Martin -
nrmv i- to the latter end of November,
when lu* w as at Supo, 10 leagues Iroin
Limn. The desertion from the Span
iard- to him was immense ; the regiment
ofNumannfl, of GOO privates, besides of
ficers, came over in a body to him.—
There is no doubt but lie must have en
tered Lima before this day.
A friend has put into mir hands n let
ter from n captain in the “ British Le
gion” in tlie South American service, to
a gentleman in this city, dated Achagua*,
or Ea Isla, 23th Dec. 1C20, from which
W-. o,.(!vu the follow mg cAlla< I,
power of Spain l.ns nwrijr rmchrd its last
throughout tin* tthuk* provinces *>t
South America. The. entire province of
Cui-ih'o, the. districts ot Amtmto, Ilishamba,
tjuaranda,and the province ofUiode la Da
cha, are now independent, and form, or are
on the eve of funning, n,;. fc .-l parts of that
great infant republic, now rearing its majes
tic head in these extensive nnd fruitful re
gions. “ If, says the writer of this a'rticle,
the progress oflihertyin the year 1821, he as
favorable as the preceding one, there will be
nn Spaniard found, attlie expiration thereof,
in the whole territory of Columbia, armed
ag oust the freedom of that country.”
We have also, by this conveyance, a pro
clamation of the Chief Regidur of Maracay-
ho, officially announcing the Independence
of that district, and its union with the repub
lic. of Columbia, This document is worthy
of men aspiring to the rank of freemen—
concise, decided and energetic. Our cor
respondent states ilia private letter, that the
duties on entering and clearing vessels in
Maracaybo, since the declaration of its inde
pendence, are reduced 100 percent. The
patriot general Urdoneta arrived at that
place from Ureneda on the 8th March with
800 men—and it is supposed that there will
he, ir. the course of one month, at least 40()0
troops to defend Maracaybo against any at
tack ofthe Spaniards.
Accounts from St. Martha state that Com
modore Amy lately died at Haranquilla, but
the manner of Iiis death was differently re
ported. Gen. Labutu, the governor of St.
Martha, during its former short lived inde
pendence, was also said to have died at that
plare. Great tranquility reigned in St.
Martha,and in every other place belonging
to the republic, where also considerable
commerce was carried on with the inferior.
An ordinance of the Spanish Cortes ti-d
been communicated to tin* Captain General
ofthe island of Porto ltico, directing him tn
abandon the use of all subterranean dunge
ons and places injurious to health, existing
in tilt prison*, barracks and forts—that all
the prisons shall In* situated so as to receive

The Gazette of Bogota ol the 7th January
rontxiti- the following intelligence :
DEPARTMENT OF (JCITO.
The major Antonio Munos informs his ex
cellency tin* vice-president, in a dispatch dat
ed (hi: 8th December, that the province of
Cuenca has proclaimed its independence of
Spain, and appointed a supri nn- junta—that
in consequence of the approach of the expe

bn Ri gave no right or title to the. throne,
with many other points equally inadmissible
in all monarchical governments. inn*,
hovvevei, is this king iri the hands „f ,| lv ,|.
Ii, than he turns Ins hack upon his own so
lemn declarations, and advises his subjects,
by proclamation, to assent to a conatitution,
dictated in fact by the allies. This will na-
turally excite in the minds of the Spaniard^
alarming apprehensions with regard to their
own monarch, whose treachery and ingrati
tude they have already witnessed, and whose
confidence they have*right, from tire evi
dence of Iiis own example, to question and to
doubt. If the point in issue between the
contending parties, was merely whether Na
ples should he subjected or not, it would not
admit of an argument. Rut let it lie notic
ed that the very papers brought by the last
arrival, and which announce the hostile ad
vances of the Austrians, announce also, the
frightful tumults in Spain,and the impor
tant change that lias taken place ill Portu
gal. The Portuguese have appointed a re
gency as a preliminary step tn the renuncia
tion of aoyalty altogether. Spain seems al
ready disposed to follow this example, for
the Spanish king is at present nothing more
than the shadow of departed royalty.
Thus mysterious does Divine Providence
bring about his purposes. The allies are
now setting fire to a train of combustible
materials scattered over Europe, that has
been long prepared for explosion—they do
not know tlie tremendously offensive strength
of the engine which they are employing lor
defensive purposes only. Tlie people of
Europe,-have been taught for a long time
past, that a government formed and consti
tuted by them, is the only legitimate form
of government. Two revolutions, that of
Spain and Naples, have been accomplished
already by military interference. Now,when
the soldiers of the allied powers are com
manded |i> repress such revolutions, they
will learn even from the conquered Neapo
litans, the object of their errand—they will
learn that they overturn a government ac
complished by military force—they will he
made sensible of the power that they hold ill
tlie'o- "»n hands, and they mill carry tlicso
ideas along with them to the respective go
vernments by whom they are fed and disci
plined and paid. The consequence wil)
probably, tie that the -affairs of Spain and
Portugal nod Naples, will be acted over on
a large sralenntlie Continent. The various
parts of this European tragedy have only yet
been put into rehearsal.—,1/orn. C'Aron.

have n line army, well clothed and equip
ped in every respect, and well disciplin
ed. I was in hopes that we should have
had a glorious campaign this year,as vve
were so well prepared fur it ; hut thi
armistice has put a stop to our operation*
for one year more, in the event that our
affairs should not he settled during the
cessation of hostilities ; for in the winter
(the same season here as your summer,)
the »v hole country for a considerable di<
tanr.e around the Oronoco, is complete
Iv overflowed. Still, however, it is a
fine country and very productive, but
the inhabitants are indolent. There are
a wonderful number of hulls .-mil row
wild on the Savannas—you will sec thir

horses or mules, you may buy one ofthe
best for half a dollar.”

Captain Reunion ofthe Ampbinn, ar

previous to his departure the British
Packet Montague arrived at Rio from
Ltaliia, bringing information tliat a Con

believed that the same was dune nt Per

which the refused—the party in power
then informed him they would cull a Cor

The packet was fired into by the forts
on leaving Bahia, and a shot entered the
cabin, but no material damage was done.
Sometime ago the Lisbon troops at Rio
were offered promotion if they would
enter the Brazilian lines, but out ot ail
the Regiments there, only twelve men
and ollicers accepted the orter. i he
residue insisted upon being *vut to Lis

We have received intelligence that the

is nothing left to Spain hut Carthngena, and

In tlie department of Venezuela, seven pro
vinces have already separated themselves
this year, among which are Merida, Trnxil-
lo and Barcelona. The department nf (^in
to we question not, is at this moment entire

Hi* Majesty’s brig Mercury, Cant. De
Quartel, arrived trout a cruize on rMuoday
last.
By the arrival of a veasel last Tuesday
from La Guayra, we learn that the period of
the armistice is prolonged, but to what ex
lent we know not. Two deputies of general
Bolivar arrived at Oararras.and were receiv
ed with the greatest cordiality. A guard of
honor has hern assigned to them, and they
will in ten day* proceed to Spain. The ob
ject of their embassy is not yu-t ascertained
hut it i* presumed that the aiknowltilg
ment ofthe Columbian independence is tin
leading feature of their instruction:
The advices from abroad, by the late ar
rivals, only tend to confirm mure strongly
the opinion heretofore anil often expressed,
that a dark and bloody cloud hangs over K.
rope. There is aluiudanl evidence that the
Austrians are in full march fur the Nespuli
tan territory—that serious disturbances have
been excited iu Spain, nnd that Portugal is
put under the government of a regency. It
worthy of notice, that the Spaniards be
gin already, (and undoubtedly they will cun
tinns- j to h el a jealousy of Ilnur monarch, ii
proportion as the allied powers assume an
hostile allitudr. Perhaps it is not going too
fir to say that the advance oftbe coalesced
sovereigns into Naples, willoeeasion the loss
ol not only Ferili,land’s crown, hut of lus
head also. He wa* invited with the King of
Naples, to assist at the conference at Lay-
bach. The King of Naples was allowed tn
depait from In* dominion* for that purpose ;
but previo is to Iiis departure, lie made the
most solemn promises, that all his exertions
should In- directed at the conference, to-
w ai ds the establishment ol a gnvi-rmnent for
Ills kingdom, entirely popular—-he pledged
hiuisell to rujiport the principle that mere
withdraw her Irom the plans she is pur
suing nn the Caspian, and in Persia and
Asia Minor.
D. It vs mild afford England, as in her neu*
tral state, in 1*111 and 17»2, time to pro
si-cute her ambition in Afghanistan, and
to constitute that powerful nation and liar
rier against Russia on the side of Persia.
G. By reserving herself and profiting by
the conflicts of other powers, tlie would
carry on her steady policy to engross tho
commerce of South America—while the
other powers were wasting themselves.
7. And if utter replenishing hr r coffers hy two
or three years neutrality, an opening
should offer to afford her any means of
aggrandizement, she might come in with
her fresh fleet and army, and liaving a'-
readv access hy treaty with Turkey, to
the Eiixinc, she might undertake to pre
scribe bounds to tile Russian encroach
ments in Asia.
The statesmen nf Europe are not ignorant
of this policy—and that knowledge, unques
tionably represses the energy which tlu-y at
first displayed. Austria burrowed of Eng
land sir mill: me of pound* sterling in 1793 ,
which has never been repaid—her paper
currency is SS per rent, tieiuw metallic par j
and this is the power that pretends to march
80,000 men to Naples—into a country, that
Cur military defence is hy nature superior to
Spain. Should the people only possess the
same spirit and constancy, nf w hich there
appears to be no more cause to doubt, than
of any other people aroused from the lethar
gy of despotism, to a knowledge of their
right tola: free—the Austrians must rt-liro
in less than three months.—.lurora.
